The Roll of Honour is actually an Honour Board. 208 names of student alumni and teachers who served in WWI, 43 of whom were killed in action.

The names have been painted onto timber board using gold paint. Interestingly, the names were presumably added to the board throughout the war years (1914-1918) as the alphabetical order of last names varies considerably in some places. All names on the board have been confirmed using the National Archives of Australia digitised war records. This digital collated record remains with the College History department.

In 2019 the College undertook a cenotaph design challenge and constructed a temporary structure to be used on the hall stage during the School Anzac service.
